Drink driving

[mrwotto]

I think toph has summed this one up nicely.

Dont drink and drive!

guys grow up quit the bickering! he made it clear in his first post he f**ked up and regrets it. theres no need to put the boot in further!

and  seriously... it'd be more worthwhile selling the car since depreciation will
knock a stack off the value.. if u really want. put the money aside for a year
and you will probably buy one back in better nick, lower mileage/more options
for the same money...


p.s... an IP address wont get you sh!t unless you file a lawsuit against his ISP and they're forced to give up details. some ISPs still wont give it up... dont believe everything you see on TV or read on some internet forum.

p.p.s and my mates are still harder than yours..

lol!  This is one of the funniest threads I've read in ages.  Nice one S11EPS 

[dubslug]

any one caught drink driving should be banned for life!!!

[G6dub]

Ok next time think about what your doing before you drive, but I guess you have learnt this now! Luckyly you were caught rather than killing someone or doing it again.
(S11EPS, if Garys not around I'll come and hide behind you lol)

If it is just a standard GTI I would sell it, keep the money put away for a year and then buy another one when you get yoru licence back.

i wont touch any alcohol whats so ever if i go out and iam driving, its not worth it!!

i normally only have 1 pint and that last about 1/2 hour of getting in the pub and then its coke for me until the bell gongs......so normally i leave on a sugar ruch and rag it anyway...

I think you'd be do better to sell it too. Insurance will be sky high.........Better off getting something smaller and rebuilding your insurance.

Some of those Polo's are very quick and cheap to insure.

Glad you learnt your lesson and won't be doing it again. My brother has been done for the third time, unfortunately its taken him 3 bans to learn his lesson but I'm pretty sure he won't do it again now.........its not only cost him his license but also his marriage But thankfully he's been taken off the road before he could kill someone.

Its a very sensitive subject that many people have very stong feelings about, especially if you have lost a friend or a member of your family as a result........

Hi i know this is strange to start a topic like this but i dunno what else to do, im an  idiot who got done for drink driving!

I have a V reg golf GTI 1.8T and i want to keep it for the year that im banned cos i like it so much,

Has anyone here got a drink driving conviction with a golf gti will i still be able to get insurance does anyone know how much it will go up by??


Thanks

The Idiot!

you admitted you made a mistake, fair play to you for saying it mate, i dont agree with it and also know of ppl who have been banned after having 2 pints, unaware they were over the limit.... however your gunna find it hard getting insured with anyone with a drink driving conviction under your belt, try the ones in back of maxp etc, cos theres always insurance for convicted drivers, however i very much doubt your gunna get a decent quote for obvious reasons.....

Quite a few of my mates have done the daft deed and been had.
On the insurance front it might not all be doom and gloom I have a mate who was caught for drink driving about 5 years ago (I think it's on your record for 10 years so his conviction code is still valid).
He also has 9points for various speeding offences, he is 27 and currently drives a corrado VR6.
I don't think he is paying totally silly money, I think it might be in the order of £1K but all things considered just shows it can still be done.
